My dreamin' list is entirely consumed by the house we are buying next month. All sorts of projects so that we can hopefully move in by September and my mind is already fast forwarding to next year when I can hopefully get some geese...and the year after when I can hopefully get some goats.

Tell you what, I'll keep my eyes out for the moose and will e-mail pictures if I see one since it's more likely that we'd actually see one!

Please enjoy a cherry dr. pepper w/ xtra ice at happy hour for me!

Our trampoline was a fantastic purchase and we were sad to not be able to take it with us. I would recommend that you plan on buying a mid-line or better (not bottome of line) just because your kids are bigger than mine were. We bought a less expensive and it was great for my kid's age, but they would have grown out of it by the time they wre pre-teens.

I love this! I'm reading a book (VERY light fiction) called "Twenty Wishes" that's sort of the same premise. I think lists put our thoughts into a conceivable form. When the dog days of summer are looming large..here that is about late July...it's nice to look at the list and remember something we really wanted to do!P.S. We saw MANY MANY moose near Winter Park last 4th of July.I'm at one kid out of school...one to go. It can't happen fast enough.Jeanie

Hi Meredith! Just wanted to tell you that I really enjoy your blog and look forward to reading it every morning before my 4, 7 and 9 year olds wake up. I found you through Joanne at the Simple Wife. I also enjoy a few friends of yours who are doing the revival bible study and am following along. Thank you for being "real" and not sugar coating anything. Who needs that??? We too have done a summer fun things to do list. We are going to try camping in our backyard too! Hope you have a really great summer!

I hoping for some daytrips this summer - the girls are fascinated with pandas and I really want to try and get to Memphis to see them before August. And of course, there will be reading, sprinklers in the backyard and lots of popsicles. :)

I need to make a list so we don't just while away the hours. Though there will definitely be a little bit of that going on.

This summer (well, the six weeks until our year-round school starts up again) we've got VBS, Myrtle Beach, the boys' 10th birthday at the LEGO store - they wore me down - and hopefully hopefully, a quick 3,000 mile round trip out to see my parents in OK. Not sure how I'm going to fit that in, but I'd love to do it.

Don't tell anyone, but we were just considering getting a trampoline for David's 13th b'day. Of course J can use it, too, but he's the one who is frightening me by how hard he swings on our rainbow swing. Time for a new venue, I think.

Great list.

I am old. For I remember when 6 Flags was Elitch's, and when Elitch's was in it's old Lakewood location.

Hi Mer... Love your blog and your list. Still getting used to "the new normal" since Mom died and haven't yet detached myself from routine so dreaming about some new options would probaby work wonderds for me.

I totall want to do this now...even, though, you've managed to get the song "California Dreamin" by the Mamas and the Papas in my head...

-camping w/ friends-zoo-maybe california to see family-children's museum (they have a GINORMOUS outdoor play structure!)-lots of playing in the backyard which will include lots of water I'm sure-I'm sure my sun would add a slip n slide to that (cause that's what everyone wants to see is me throw/flop my way down yellow, slick plastic...)-evening walks as a family-BBQin' w/ family and friends-VBS-Day Camp for Will-Swim lessons

Mer - I love this idea. I think we will sit around the dinner table tonight for some dreamin'. Of course, getting a job and moving to a new local will be at the top. :) But, I don't want to waste our summer waiting.

About Me

Hi, I'm Meredith. I'm a wife, mom, hiker, mountain climber, student, coffee drinker, Christ-follower, nature lover, and nutrition nerd. I grew up in the South but have called Colorado home for almost thirteen years and I love this state with all my heart. My family currently resides in a small, mountain community that sits at...you guessed it...7000 ft above sea level.
This blog is a bit like a family scrapbook for me. It's a place where I write about my family and lots of other things I love. Welcome!
